This can lead to some tough decisions especially when you are farther away from home. The vacpack only has four slots, which means you can only carry four different things with you, whether they be plorts, slimes, or food. There are a few bugaboos with the game, gameplay-wise. (Side note: I do have five or six pink tabby largos in an isolated area of my ranch far away from everything else where they can roam freely, eat plenty, and not cause any trouble.) Puddle slime is love, puddle slime is life. Fortunately, though, you don’t have to sleep. Oh, and their plorts are worth a lot of newbucks.) And if you’re like me, once you’ve captured a slime you won’t want to let it go because a) it’s too adorable and b) Tarr infestations happen naturally in the wild quite often (which helps to keep the slime population down), so releasing a slime back into its natural habitat is basically condemning it to death. (Unless you have puddle slimes, and few enough in each pond that the pond regenerates water faster than the puddle slimes use it up. Vac up too many slimes and it’ll be really difficult to keep your ranch under control. Keeping them happy means a lot more time spent gathering resources than actually going out and seeing the rest of what the game has to offer. I haven’t seen one die of hunger yet, though. They even start dribbling from the mouth when they’re famished. Spend too much time away from your ranch and you’ll return to starving slimes that try to escape in their search for food. You’ll also have to explore farther and farther away from your ranch to get to the more valuable slimes and their plorts. (Conversely, puddle slimes are 100% low maintenance, as long as you keep them in a special pond and keep that pond filled with water. But at least getting bopped on the nose by one gives you a Steam achievement. Tabby slimes (pink tabby largos to be exact) caused my ranch’s first Tarr infestation. ![]() Tabby slimes have cat ears and a tail, eat only meat, attempt to escape their corral at every opportunity (even if you install high walls and an air net in your futile attempt to keep them in), eat other types of plorts with abandon, and steal stuff from around your ranch, which can lead to unintended largo or Tarr transformations. Phosphor slimes can float, eat only fruit, and must be kept in a dark area or they’ll disappear. Rock slimes eat only veggies and can roll around, hurting you with their spikes in the process. Sounds easy, right? This pink slime has no idea of what’s about to happen to it.Īs your ranch grows and you start acquiring different types of slimes, you’ll find out that each slime has two unique qualities, diet and behavior, which make them more difficult to care for. Master all of these, and you’ll be rolling in the newbucks. But beware–give a slime a third different type of plort and it transforms into a monstrous species called the Tarr, which kill other slimes and can hurt you. It takes on the diet of both of its parent types and also poops out plorts of both of its parent types. The new slime, called a largo, grows to at least twice its original size–so big that you can no longer vac it up, only carry it in front of you. You can even combine slime types by feeding a slime a plort made by a different type of slime. The rare Polished Turd–I mean, Golden Plort, found by stuffing the face of a Golden Slime before it runs away from you screaming. At first, you start with only pink slimes, which eat anything and everything but whose poops are almost worthless, but you can soon start capturing different types of slimes that poop out more valuable plorts. Your job is to suck those blobular bundles of joy with big goofy smiles called slimes into your vacpack, shoot them into corrals made of one way walls that let things in but not out (except for you, of course), stuff them full of their favorite food, clean up their poop (called plorts), and then sell that poop for money, which you can use to buy gardens, more corrals, and amenities for your slimes. You, Beatrix LeBeau, are a slime rancher. The premise of the game is really simple. (Click that link, watch that video over there, and then come back.) I’ll be taking control of today’s Wednesday Review in order to give a review of the happiest game ever made: (Shhhhhh, I’m trying to keep that a secret since I haven’t been here in a while) ![]() (hey, hey, typoattack, aren’t you the blogmaster?) Since Jorf doesn’t have a post lined up for today (what a scrub), I’ll be taking control of today’s Wednes– Hey everyone, guest writer typoattack here.
